hundred millions sterling which Peter Thellusson had calculated upon for his great-great-grandchil dren dwindled down to very modest proportions, not at all conspicuous among the thousands of first class fortunes at present assessed to the income tax. There are now no more millionaire Thelluseens ; no more members of the family in Parliament ; and no more banking establishments bearing the famous name. Peter Thellusson, besides overlooking the Court of Chancery, made one fundamental mistake in his calculation. He did not remember, or perhaps did not know, that large wealth, as it must be acquired, so must be kept together, by active human brains and industrious human hands. Interest and compound interest alone will not do it.—. Railway News. ONEY MARKET AND COMMEILCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market continues in a favourable course. There has been less inquiry for accommoda tion, and the capital cn offer shows a small increase. Under this circumstance the mercantile public are receiving greater concessions, the discount esta. bliehments having negotiated short-dated bills at 7 per cent. _ _ _ . The arrivals of specie announced this morning comprise £8,489 by the Europa, from America ; £14,000 by the Kosciusko, from Port Phillip ; and £18,788 from Geelong, by the Champion of the Seas. About £38,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. During the past week the intervention of the Whitsuntide holidays has been the cause of a partial suspension of business in most of the manufacturing districts. At Manchester, however, prices of both cloths and yarns have been well sustained, and in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hud dersfield high rates have been current for both Wools and manufactured goods. Rather less ani mation has prevailed in the hosiery and lace de partments at Leicester and Nottingham, while the same may be reported in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 65c. Heavy. The market for the English stocks and shares has been very muoh depressed this morning. The ope rations have been exceedingly limited, and at an early hour the funds declined 1 per cent., from which they have not recovered, Consols being 91i1 for money, and 90 8, less the div., for the account. The New Three per Cents. are 888 89g ; Exche quer Bills, 8s to 7s dis.; India 5 per Cents., 105 i 9 ; and the Bonds, 15s dis.

MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled very inactive, and in some instances a further decline took place in prices. The spring corn trade was dull, and the quotations had a downward tendency, Flour changed hands at rather lower prices. The amount of business doing in produce on the Conti nent and at New York for export to Great Britain is small, and prices continue to give way. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English wheat were limited, the imports from abroad amounted to 3,304 quarters of wheat, 3,088 bales, 13,062 oats, 1,327 beans, 5 peas, 132 tares, 9,862 linseed, 11,240 oilseeds, 3,000 maze, 5 sundry seeds, and 75 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day, the arthala of English wheat were very moderate, but most samples were received in good condi tion. There was a decided improvement in the demand both for red and white qualities, but without leading to any advance in prices, compared with Monday last, At an early hour the supply offered was disposed of, at the recent fall in the quotations. With foreign wheat the market was but moderately supplied. The improvement in the English wheat trade induced holders to demand rather more money for fins red Ateerican descriptions. On the whole, however, the trade ruled steady, and last Monday's currency was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, yet prices ruled firm. The supply of barley on sale was seasonably extensive. The malting season is now over, and the trade for grinding and distilling qualities ruled in active on former terms. The malt trade was quiet at last Monday's currency. The supply of oats was moderate. For nearly all qualities there was a steady demand, at previous quotations. Beans, the supply of which was small, ruled firm, at full currencies. Peas were in moderate request, and prices rued firm. The market was scantily supplied with most descriptions. For flour there was a moderate demand, at full rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The (supply of foreign beasts to-day was seasonably good—of foreign sheeps and calves only moderate. Sales progressed steadily, and prices had an upward tendency. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were limited ; but the general qua lity was prime. The supply trom ScotlAnd was good; but from Ireland the receipts were limited. All breeds of beasts commanded steady sale, at an advance in the quota tions compared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The ge nelal top figure was 4s 10d; but really prime Scots and crosses realised 5s per 81bs, Amongst the supply were about 400 store beasts. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, short horns and crosses; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 459 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 130 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was only moderate. Compared with some previous weeks there was a falling off in their qua lity. All breeds sold steadily at an improvement in value of from 2d to, in some instances 4d per 81bs. Prime Downs and half-breds sold at 5s per 81bs. Lambs were in good request at full prices, viz., from 6s 4d to 7s 6d per 8115. About 700 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. . _ We had; slow inquiry for calves at late rates, viz., from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per Sibs, The pork trade was heavy on former terms.

The races set for decision to-morrow are the Heathcote Plate, the Woodcote Stakes, the Brighton Stakes, and the Rous Stakes. The Woodcote Stakes looks a certainty for Plantagenet, if Lord St. Vincent runs ; and Blarney ought to carry off the Heathcote Plate. The Rous Stakes looks a good thing for Soapstone. The great event of the meeting is fixed for Wednesday, when nearly two or three hundred thousand of the London folks will be present to witness the decision of one of the most open, best-betting Derbys that has ever been decided at Epsom. The field will in all probability comprise the following : PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS. HORSE. SIRE. JOCKEY. General Peel Y.

He has maintained the premiership in the betting ever since his easy victory in the Two Tho usand Guineas, Lord Glasgow never intended he should run for that race but for the unfortunate breaking down of First Flight; his preparation was consequently hurried. Having beaten Paris easily, who was one of the best two yr-olds that performed last season, it will take a clipper to beat him on Wednesday. He has improved nearly 101bs. since he ran in the Two Thousand Guineas, SCOTTISH CHIEF has been very steady in the market during the whole of the winter. In all probability he will start first favourite, being what is termed the "gentleman's horse," but I question his ability to beat General Peel. CAMBUSCAN beat Scottish Chief last year when only. half prepared, and no doubt he will do the same this. The wonderful trial he had with Revolver and Bathilde I do not believe in, although holding his chance almost second to none. BIRCH BROOM, from" having beaten Merry Hart in his trial, is supported as if it was all over but shouting, but no Merry Hart would have won the City and Suburban had it not been for the falso starts. FORAGER, from a report that he met with an accident in his trial with Little Stag on Saturday, has been knocked out to the 100 to 1 division. It was reported at Tattersall's on Saturday that he was scratched, but as I have not yet beard o f a ny confirmation of the rumour, I should advise that no liberties be taken with him, as he may yet become a rattling favourite. Lord St. Vincent, no doubt, would have put the pen through the horse's name if there had been any truth in the report. Should he see the starter those g 'will have to get out at a w ho have been operating very short price. COAST GUARD Will succumb to Cambuscan. BARAGA.II, a dark horse in John Scott's stable, is now s upportei in preference to his stable companion Hollyfox. The latter ran well in the Two Thousand Guineas, and if the former is better, ho will be a dangerous customer for mysterious that it would be best to the favourites. corENRAGEN is again supported, although he cut such a wretched figure in the Two Thousand. John Day's tac ktieoesparkeimgeennertaklley ELY, as a two-yr• old, was a good performer, and is the most likely of the outsiders to pull through. VALIANT has been supported in earnest by the Epsom s s e ° fe side. division, but he would be a valiant man that would stand him. Very likely the Epsom division will now be enabled to get rid of some of their Flash-in -the-Pan winnings.

COMMENCEMENT OF TRINITY TERM. This being the first day of Trinity Term, and there being no public reception of her Majesty's judges and Queen's Counsel by the Lord Chancellor, the judges entered their respective courts at Westminster Hall at the usual hour. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Justices Crompton, Blackburn, and Shea.) DAVIS V. WELLS. _ Mr Brown, on the part of the defendant, moved for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why all pro ceedings against defendant in this court should not be stayed, and that the plaintiff should be ordered to pay all coats of such proceedings, and also of this applcation, on the ground of vexatious proceedings. The plaintiff had been a depositor in the National Bank of Deposit, of which Peter Morison was manager, and which company had been wound up under the 20th and 21st Vic., cap. 78, before the Master of ',the Rolls, under which the defendant, Mr Wells, who had been a director, was decided to be liable as a contribu tory ; and to relieve himself from which claim and liabili ties under the company, he entered into a compromise with the official manager, and the creditors' assignees assented at a meeting duly convened by advertisement, under the pro visions of the statue, which made the appoint meat binding m all the creditors of the company if two-thirds of those who proved their debts before the Master agreed to such . appointment. The appointment was duly certified by the Master of the Rolls, the compromise being that £5,000 should be paid in settlement or discharge of all claims upon him, the official manager and the creditors' assignee executing a deed of release which was duiy carried, and the £5,000 paid by the defendant. The plaintiff proved her debt at the winding up of the company, and was entitled to participate in the assets in band of the official manager, of which the £5,000 contributed by the defendant was the bulk. Not withstanding the release executed by the official manager under which plaintiff had proved her debt, she commenced an action, got the defendant under 73d section of the Joint Stock Companies Act to recover the amount of her claim against Wells as a contributory. The defendant complained that he was being made the victim of vexatious proceedings, as already three actions had been brought against him by the same attorney, but in the names of dif ferent depositors, and in one case the Court of Common Pleas granted a rule; but after hearing Mr. Ogle, for the plaintiff, for several hours, the court, without calling on the other side, made the rule absolute, staying the proceedings with costs, and the present action was entirely similar, and on his own responsibility he not only asked for the rule to stay proceedings, but that the plaintiff pay the costs. The Court granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.) IN RE P. W. WINDHAM. This was a first meeting for a proof of debts and choice of assignees in the case of Mr Windham, who was de scribed as of Westbourne-terrace and Cromer, coach pro prietor. It will be remembered that the bankrupt came before the court on his own petition, but subsequently a creditor's petition was substituted in the belief that it would afford an opportunity for a more extensive inquiry into the bankrupts property. Mr Lawrence appeared for the bankrupt; Mr Chidley, Mr Brougb, Mr Roche, and several other gentlemen for creditors. The number of creditors attending were comparatively few, having given powers of attorney to vote in the choice. A proof on behalf of a Mr Richardson, a tavern keeper, Anchor-street, Church-street, Shoreditch, for a sum of £5OO on two bills of exchange of £250, discounted by Mr Richardson, but after a short discussion, it was allowed to stand over till the next meeting. Mr. Howlett, of the Music Hall, Norwich, sought to prove for £125 for a pianoforte, but it proved that it had not been delivered, and the learned Registrar declined to allow the creditor to give up the property and prove for th 9 balance. A proof was tendered by Mr. Bingham, a taller, for a bill of £IIS for clothing. The proof was admitted subject to the creditor giving up a mortgage he had on bankrupt's yacht. A proof was tendered on behalf of Mr. Breeze, a partner with the bankrupt in the stage coach business, but upon Mr. Windham being examined it appeared that no account had been taken of the relative position of the parties. The proof was ordered to stand over. Proof to the amount of about £1,500 were admitted, and Mr. Smith, of Norwich, veterinary surgeon, was chosen assignee. Mr. Lawrence complained that several of the creditors who had given power of attorney had rescinded them and given them to other persons, which he considered unfair and improper; but no doubt they had received a strong in ducement to do so. lie then applied for an allowance to the bankrupt of £lO a week, which wa3 objected to on the ground that the bankrupt executed a deed which would, no doubt, he hereafter declared perfectly valid, by which he was to receive £SUO a year for life, with an addition, as certain property fell in. The allowance was granted till .the next meeting, which is appointed for the 28th of June. Mr. Lawrence is solicitor to the issue. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Days MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPER.—Thomas Weatherson and Alfred Pike, two young men, described as "artists," of No. 44, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, was charged before Mr Knox, with being drunk and assaulting Dlr. James Hudson, coffee-house keeper, of 397, Oxford-street. From the evidence of Mr Hudson, it appeared last night the defendants entered his house and ordered some refresh ment, with which they were served. Directly after Pike began making use of the most disgusting language, but the other advised him to be quiet. Mr Hudson then requested Pike to desist, when he set to abusing him, and at last Mr Hudson was obliged to turn both defendants out of the house, when Pike struck him on the breast with his fist, and Weatherson seized a stick which Pike had in his hand and struck Mr Hudson several blows across the forehead viith it. The defendants were then taken into custody. Wm. Nelson, 195 C, proved seeing the defendants assault Mr Hudson. Mr Knox said it was evident from the appearance of Mr Hudson's forehead that he had been much illused. The defendant Pike had not left any marks, and did not appear to have injured Mr Hudson, but be had grossly miscon ducted himself. He should, therefore, fine him 20s, or 14 days; and Weatherson 40s, or 14 days. THAMES. A THIEF CAPTURED BY A PAWNEROYER.—Henry Larking, aged 30, was charged with being in the unlawful possession of a silver watch, which had been stolen or un lawfully procured. _ _ _ Mr. W. Carpenter, foreman to the business of his uncle of the same name, No. 68, Cannon-street-road, St. Geoirge in-the-Eas t, said the prisoner offered him a silver watch in pawn, and asked for a loan of 60s upon it. He asked the prisoner if it was his own watch, to which he replied in the affirmative. He asked him the maker's name and number on the watch, and the prisoner said he did not know, and bought the watch of a man in a . publichouse for £2 108 on Mond iy last, but he did not know the man or the sign of the public house. He then detained the prisoner and gave him into custody. The watch was a silver lever, the maker Spilgelhutton, Whitechapol-road, and it was worth five guineas. William Jenkins, a police-constable, No. 346 K, said the watch was sold by Mr Spilgelhatton 18 months ago to a customer, named James Scott, of No. 4, Carter-street, Evan's-street, Poplar. If the prisoner was remanded, he hoped to find the owner. The Magistrate said the conduct of the pawnbroker, Mr Carpenter, was highly creditable, and as the prisoner would not give any satisfactory account of himself or the watch he should remand him for a week. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—James Jacobs, a well known young ruffian and thief, was charged with stealing a purse containing £1 Gs. 9d. from the person of Johnson Gustav Johnson, a Danish seaman. The prosecutor is lodging at No. 30, High-street, Shad well. He was passing along Ratcliff Highway on Satur day evening, when the prisoner and two other boys sur rounded hi.n. One of them pointed to some dirt or mud on his left shoulder, and he turned his head aside to look at it, when another shoved against him, and the prisoner put his hand in the sailor's right hand trousers pocket and took from it a purse containing £1 Gs. 9d., and all the sailor's papers. Johnson immediately seized the prisoner, who threw the purse away. The sailor left the prisoner and recovered his purse and money. The prisoner ran away. Ha was pursued, and after a long chase was stopped by police constable 185 B, who said the young thieves in the district had got up a new dodge. They stopped sailors, called attention to something on the shoulder of the person stopped, and when his head was turned dived into his pocket and took out anything it contained. The prisoner made no defence, and as the Dane was about to sail with his ship, the prisoner was summarily disposed of, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD.— The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending May 21, was 3,436, of which 1,006 were new cases. Among the royal collections at Windsor a map has been discovered, which has on it the earliest known instance of the word America. It is a 'rnappomonde, or map of the world by Leonardo da Vinci. At the next meeting of the Society of Antiquaries, Mr. Major, of the British Museum, will explain the particulars connected with the discovery and character of this interesting map. LIFE SAVED BY A Doti.—At the late wreck at Sanday, a Newfoundland dog, belonging to the vessel, seeing a poor fellow struggling among the breakers, leaped into the sea, and having seized in his mouth the upper part of the man's jacket bore his head up, and swam ashore with him,—Oreadian.

Warren, 111. P„ and Mr T. G, Jackson, M,A., Scholars of Wadham College, have been elected Pro bationary Fellows ; and Mr Hughes, from Roman, and Mr Peck, from St. Paul's School, have been elected Scholars. Messrs E. S. Carter and J. 11, Fish, from Durham, and W. Moffatt, from Lincoln, have been elected Scholars, and Mr Banks, of Lincoln College, has been elected Bible Clerk of Worcester College. At the same time the Rev. C. H. Tomlinson was admitted Fellow. Mr E. Caird, B A., Exhibitioner of Banjo' College, has been elected to a Fellowship in Merton College, Mr Caird obtained the highest honour at the examination before Moderators in Easter Term, 1862, and a classical first class in the final examination of Easter Term, 1863. He also obtained the Pusey and Ellerton (Hebrew) Scholarship in 1561. In a Convocation held.` this day at 2 o'clock, it was pro posed that the statute "De Examinations Candidatorum qui non sunt de copore Universitatis" shall continue in force for one year, dating from the first day of Michelmas Term, 1861. Professor RAWLINSON would not oppose the second decree, which was rendered necessary by the double failure of the Council in their attempt to legislate on the subject. It was not a satisfactory arrangement, but he accepted it as the best, under existing circumstances. He rose chiefly to answer the attempts which had been made tc show by statistics that the examinations had done no good to the religious education of the country, Up to 1861 it was certain that no good had been done, but since the original statute was modified in that year, a great improvement had taken place. The percentage of candidates who accepted, and who passed, the religious examination was greater in 1863 than in any previous year. The certificated students who passed in Divinity, who were 274 in 1858, rose to 370 in 1862, and to 393 in 1863. He urged that there was no sufficient reason for substituting the compulsory for the voluntary system, as the latter was working so well. The Cambridge system, to which appeal had been made, was really voluntary. Dr. PUSEY maintained the accuracy of his statistics, but had not brought them with him, and could not enter into details. What he had specially remarked, and intended to call attention to, was that the number of those placed on the third division who passed in religion was constantly dimi nishing. This was, he thought, owing to the fact that the religious examination did not. help towards a pass. In this respect the Cambridge plan differed from the Oxford one. He proceeded to explain the reasons which had made him consent to drop the statute last brought forward, and make the present temporary arrangement, and justified the Coun cil's preference of their own plans over the advice of the delegates. There would be time now to give full considera tion to the various amendments of the scheme which had been suggested—as to the propositions of Professor Smith and Professor Shirley. The recent debates had caused him great pain, especially as involving difleiences with one whom he had known and respected for 30 years. The MASTER OF BALLIOL (Dr. Scott), as the person re ferred to, must gay that he bad nothing to retract from the observations which he had made on former occasions. Im putations of a painful character had been thrown out against the delegates. They had been accused of violating the statute, and of maintaining thrir violation in spite of a legal opinion given against them. Again, they had been accused of mistranslating in their regulations the important clause " conscientice cause." These charges had not hitherto been retracted. With respect to the degree of weight to be attached to the recommendation of the Delegates, what he had wished to impress on the house was that it was just in proportion as the Delegates were familiar with the entire working of the system that they felt strongly as to the in. expediency of the plans which the Council had brought forward. Dr. FIISEY said that he did not mean to charge the Dele gates with maintaining their violation of the Statute after the opinion referred to had been given. Dr. SCOTT gladly accepted Dr. Pusey's retractation. Dr. PusEY had not retracted. He had never meant to make the charge which the Master of.Balliol supposed him to have made. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said no formal legal opinion had ever been given, and any Delegate was quite freo to reopen the question of the true interpretation of the Statute. CAMBRIDGE, May 20. The following is the order of merit of those candidates who have passed with credit the examination of Tyrwhitt's Hebrew Scholarship :—Charles Taylor, 8.A., St. John's College, scholar of the first class ; Robert Sinher, 8.A., Trinity College, scholar of the second class ; A.

The Price of Gold. - - By advices fromllamburg the price of gold is 426 per ropr% and the short exchange on London is 13. ei per £1 stcrlin4. t , tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3.loths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at-Neve York on London for bills a GO days' sight is 'about 200 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 82 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mile pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price oi . 64 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is! nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
